Venue confirmed for Haye fight

[ono]

Airports close to Schalke, Germany

The closest airport is ESS - Essen Mulheim, located 16.3 km south west of Schalke. More nearby airports include DUS - Duesseldorf Dusseldorf 33.5 km south west, DTM - Dortmund 36.7 km east, MGL - Moenchengladbach Monchengladbach 51.4 km south west, ZCA - Arnsberg Menden 56.8 km east,

I can probably find out a decent amount of information about getting there because i have some pals who went to watch Man City beat Schalke in November last year in the Uefa Cup.

Forum full of pals went from Manchester/Gatwick...actually pretty much from all over England. I'll ask for some useful info and i'll post it on here for those that are going to make the trip from the UK.

Damn it, I read the first post and thought it was in Frankfurt. I was happy with that as I booked up for a dance festival there only last week and got a Ryanair flight for just £53!!!

Good job you posted that info Ono or I may have booked up for bloody Frankfurt!!

With that in mind it does seem a strange choice of venue, no big airports nearby thus making it expensive for British fans to attend the fight.

I wonder if this was intentional on Klitschko's part to take away any minor advantage Haye may get by having UK fans there to support him

It's not that expensive i don't think. Man City sold their allocation for tickets against Schalke really easily and quickly.

A few pals got 2 nights in dusseldorf, (flights/hotel/tickets) for £219. Not that bad.

And some flew from Luton to Dortmund for £45 return.

Thing is though footy is a guaranteed 90 minutes. This could last 90 seconds.
